Professor J A Fleming of University College London claims electrified dust lofted from the wake forms a atmospheric envelope about 100 miles high. This dust screen acts as a wireless tube enabling long-distance waves of about ten miles in length to travel 6 000 to 12 000 miles. Without it, Fleming says wireless energy would drift away from the earth.

A meeting of station representatives near New York and New Jersey aims to curb radio interference. Advice covers using condenser plates of twenty three or fewer and minimizing secondary circuit capacity to improve tuner performance. Detect open circuits by tracing wiring when a steady hum is heard. Spaghetti tubing over wires reduces short circuits and enhances appearance. More fans seek radio-frequency amplification over audio frequency for efficiency.
Javelle water, made at home, is a strong bleaching liquid for stubborn stains on uncolored cotton or linen. It should not touch silk or wool and must be neutralized with oxalic acid after each use. Prepare by dissolving washing soda and calcium hypochlorite, filter, store darkly, and apply with care to avoid fiber damage.
